Mac OS X Lion does not install!!!

So I purchased Mac OS X Lion on the app store.  It began to download. When I clicked to install the new OS X LION it stops and says "It could not install because it could not be verified with apple.  Your download might have been corrupted during the download".  What the heck is going on.  I tried uninstalling it reinstalling it (as an apple technician told me to do so over the phone) and it didnt work.  I have all the spec requirements needed to upgrade to LION but still it will not download to my computer.  I paid 30 bucks for this upgrade and Apple will not refund me.  Can someone please help me!!!  Thanks.

If it has been corrupted during download then delete it and get a fresh copy.
Regards,
Colin R.

  • Mac OS X Lion does not Appear in the Purchased Apps list

    Hi everyone,
    I bought my MacBook Pro 15-inch late in July and got the free upgrade promotion for Mac OS X Lion from Apple. Now I went to Mac App Store and verified the purchased items and I don't see Lion listed there.
    Any idea?
    Thanks,
    Abdullah

    I had this problem too, but the purchase was actually "hidden".
    My solution; 
    In th App Store menu click on "Store" and "View My Account"
    Under the "iTunes in the Cloud" section of the new window that appears there were 2 "Hidden Purchases".
    Click on "View Hidden Purchases" and then click on "Unhide" on OS X Lion (assuming it is there - mine was).
    It will now re-appear in your puchases section and you can re-download and install if necessary. Note that when you hover the mouse near the download or installed button a little x in a circle appears - if you click this is hides the purchase again. I'm assuming this will only work if you have the appropriate Cloud settings for recording your purchases, but it worked for me.
    Hope this helps anyone finding their way to this thread.

  • Mac OS X Lion does not load on MacBook (late2007)10.6.8

    Hi, Anyone who is having this issue. I have 2 MacBooks ( white body late 2007) upgraded with Snow Leopard and later updtaes of Snow Leopard up to 10.6.8.
    Now I have bought Mac OS X Lion, and I ghave tried to load Lion onto these machines without any succes. Anyone with this experience ?
    Thanks for helping me out.

    First, just to make sure, is your machine a Core 2 Duo (the number '2' being the most important)?
    Then, how much RAM do you have? 2 GB is the minimum; however, that is truly a minimum - you'd be much happier with 4 GB.
    And, last, the download is almost 4 GB - with my cable connection, it normally takes at least one hour, but i've already had it take almost 3 hours (entire neighborhood must have been downloading something....). I've heard of some people reporting 10+ hours of download time if the connection was bad, slow, or kept timing out.
    So, you need to give it plenty of time. And, it is not installing during the download - it is only downloading. When done, you will get an installer window. At that point, I suggest that you dismiss that and go to your Applications Folder. Copy the installer somewhere safe so you don't need to do it again (you can also use it on your other machine). After that, double click the installer and click on install.

  • Lion does not instal

    After installing Lion on my MacBook (which took several hours) and trying it out, I decided to instal on my iMac.
    Started at 12:15pm yesterday, downladed OK and App Store showed it "Installing". Then after about 10 hours, it informed that it had failed and advised to try again. So I did - about 20 hours ago. It is still "installing".
    I have tried restarting several times and disabled all unnecessary apps (e.g. Time Machine).
    Mysteriously, my Address Book is now empty and I had to reinstal a printer driver to do some printing.
    I have now been trying for almost 30 hours. Any suggestions?

    Hi.
    what's your printer/scanner model #? If RRFS' suggestions fail to resolve your issue: try removing the HP drivers from /Library/Printers folder then with device connected directly to your computer, check for software updates, this will push HP software/drivers to your system - install them.
    "do not install drivers from printer/scanner disc"
    After installation, make sure the devices, both printer and scanner show up in system preferences > printers - try scanning. Also check with a native Application like image capture, see if its recognizing your scanner.

  • Mountain Lion Does not install on MacBook Air 2010

    Installing stopped on: (remaining time 17 mins). I have waited 1hr, but nothing happens.
    After reboot, this situation repeated 3 times!
    Please, help! What I should do to restore my computer?
    Thanks.

    Restart your Mac and immediately press the Command and R keys. Your Mac should start from the Lion recovery partition.
    Open Disk Utility and click your OS X Lion volume, typically named "Macintosh HD". Note: If FileVault 2 is enabled, you will need to click "Unlock" on the toolbar, and then enter your admin password to unlock the drive.
    Click the "Repair Disk" button and let Disk Utility complete a repair of the drive.
    After this, restart. If the same issue is happening, boot with command R again and reinstall the OS from there.

  • Mac App Store app does not install. How do I get a refund?

    I purchased an app from the Mac App Store (Connect360 - $20).  I "installed" the app from the Mac App Store.  The app appears on the dock and loads, but when it's done, it disappears from the dock.  The app is not located in the Applicaitons menu like it should be.  When I return to the Mac App store app and go to PURCHASED, the app is listed there again with the INSTALL button ready to go to be installed.  I've gone through this now 2 or 3 times and the app doesn't ever install.
    I followed all the links from the Mac App store to the developers website and after digging down into the comments found that others have had this problem as well.  I contacted the developer and they said this was a "Mac App store bug that Apple is aware of and to please contact Apple."  I have not found anywhere to properly report this and feel very frustrated that I keep getting sent in link circles from one place on the Apple website to the Mac App store and back again. 
    I had previously tried the "trial" version from the developer and loved it.  I followed all the instructions to "uninstall" the app before installing the Mac App store app as well. I thought it would be nice to have purchased the app through the Mac App store so it was tied to my account, but no suck luck.
    Anyone know the proper procedure for requesting a refund or point me in the direction to get answers on how to get my $20 back?

    Install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
    Then reinstall the app > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Your only recourse for a refund if you can't get the app installed correctly is from the developer, not Apple.
    According to Apple, all sales are final >  iTUNES STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS

  • Mac OS X v 10.7 Lion does not support Norton Antivirus? what to do? Buy another one?

    Need advice!
    Mac OS X v 10.7 Lion does not support Norton Antivirus? what to do? Buy another one?

    Sophos seems like the best alternative to me.
    No, the best alternative is not to install any commercial "anti-virus" products. They're all worse than useless, including Sophos.
    Mac OS X versions 10.6.7 and later have built-in detection of known Mac malware in downloaded files. The recognition database is automatically updated once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders. In most cases, there’s no benefit from any other automated protection against malware.
    The most effective defense against malware is your own intelligence. All known Mac malware takes the form of trojans that can only operate if the victim is duped into running them. If you're smarter than the malware attacker thinks you are, you won't be duped. That means, primarily, that you never install software from an untrustworthy source. Any website that prompts you to install software, such as a “codec” or “plug-in,” that comes from that same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim.
    Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. No intermediary is acceptable.
    Never install any commercial "anti-virus" products for the Mac, as they're all counter-productive. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use ClamXav -- nothing else.

  • I just purchased a camera packaged with Adobe photoshop Elements 11. I have a mac book air- which does not have a cd drive. The package did not come with a code or anything that would provide me with another way to install photoshop that came with my came

    I just purchased a camera packaged with Adobe photoshop Elements 11. I have a mac book air- which does not have a cd drive. The package did not come with a code or anything that would provide me with another way to install photoshop that came with my camera. Is there any other way i can install this on my camera without using the provided cd or buying the software again?

    That doesn't help the user with the serial code though.
    There has to be some kind of code somewhere within the package. The disk itself does not contain one. You can look here for help with finding your serial number:

    Hi keltystu,
    You are doing 2 things wrong:
    1. you are trying to run EXE file(installer) on MAC
    2. You are trying to run a very old application on latest configuration which is not compatible and may not fulfill the appropriate requirement.
    Thanks

    I remember that with Snow Leopard you could download them from the Apple website.
    Cheers!

    Read the Boot Camp Documentation while you run Boot Camp Assistant to download the Windows Support Software which was the first step in the Boot Camp Setup procedure.

  • Mac OSX lion does not connect to wifi automatically

    Hi there
    My mac osx lion does not connct to wifi automatically , or when i open the lid it doesn't connect either...
    could you please help me with this problem?

    Bump
    is there anyone else with a Mountain Lion Mac and a TP-Link TL-WDR4300? I am almost sure that it's this combination that doesn't work. All other devices I have (Apple and non-Apple) can work perfectly on 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, but the settings on the WiFi adapter on the Mac are the same for all Wireless networks, so I just don't get why it would work on 5Ghz but not on 2.4Ghz...
    Thank you

  • My 2008 Mac Pro running Lion will not play HDV1080i60 footage in FCP 7. When I open the sequence settings, all HDV codecs are hdv1, hdv2, hdv3, and so forth. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

    My 2006 - 2008 Mac Pro running Lion will not play HDV 1080i60 footage in FCP 7. When I open the sequence settings, all HDV codecs are hdv1, hdv2, hdv3, and so forth. However, when I open the project on my other Mac Pro running Snow Leopard and FCP 6, the footage works fine as it does on my newer Imac running Mavericks and FCP 7. I have tried a Quicktime update on the Mac Pro that the footage doesn't work on but it says that I already have the newest version of Quicktime installed. I have also tried reinstalling the Final Cut Pro Studio twice, still no fix. I'm completely out of solutions and need to be able to edit HDV footage on this machine. Any help would be great. Thanks.

    there was a recent software update that seemed to screw HDV up.  Do some searching here over the last month or 2 and you'll find a bunch of posts and some possible solutions.
    Worst case scenario, do as Shane suggests.  But might I suggest you take a look at the user tips section of the forum.  there are some great tips on how to prevent these sorts of problems by cloning your startup drive, etc.

  • Server 3 downloaded but does not install. HTTPS proxy error

    Hi all,
    Thanks for looking into my problem.
    I had a running OSX Mountain Lion with working OSX server 2.2.
    I upgraded to Mavericks (works fine) and server app 2.2 showed does not work. That is normal.
    I purchased the new server 3 app (i.e. OSX server for Mavericks) and it downloaded fine.
    But when I click the server app icon and the dialogue for installation starts it does not continue to install.
    The first question in continue, the server app then shows the license, after acceptance it starts a dialogue
    "To configure OSX server on this Mac an administrator account is required. Please enter your password"
    Upon entering the correct username and password a cryptic message appears:
    "An error occurred while communicating with the secure Web-Proxy-Server. (HTTPS)"
    (Or something like that: this was translated from German dialogues)
    I cannot find any feedback what this is about. The server 3 app ends then and the server software does not install or configure the OSX server to get it operational again.
    My Question:
    What is wrong or am I doing wrong?
    How can I fix this?
    Some more data:
    The original OSX server installation was an open domain server.
    Upon checking the DNS name as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5300, the scutil --get HostName resolves the correct machine name (FQDN) but the host command does not resolve the correct DNS entry.
    I am really stuck on this.
    Can anybody please help?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks already

    Hi all,
    I read that one should disable the SSL on a OSX server with Open Domain, prior to installing server 3. To double check: where is that configuration option hidden? How can I do this after upgrading the OSX client to Mavericks?
    Seems I have not done that prior to upgrading OSX from mountain lion to mavericks. Now server 2.2 is disabled and I cannot access the server and installing server 3 app does not work.
    Some details:
    As described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5300

  • Macbook Air - Combined Update 10.9.4 does not install

    I have a 13" Macbook Air, late 2010 Model, currently on OS X 10.9.1 (13B42)
    It has 4GB RAM and there is 75GB free memory on the drive.
    No "unusual" software is running, just the OS and the usual programs installed (MS Office + Apple Products, Picasa, Safari, Chrome...)
    I have not used it in a while but now I want to, so I tried to update the software to the current versions. Everything worked... except for the OS X Update.
    The OS X Update Combined 10.9.4 does not install - what happens is:
    - I press update, the Mac shuts down and restarts.
    - After the restart, the update is still shown in the list and I am still on 10.9.1
    - There is no error message or similar. There is also no installation message while the system reboots.
    - Also there is no download activity prior to the shutdown so I assume the update-software is already loaded, just not installed.
    I already tried just shutting down and restarting, there is no unusual software running etc.
    Anybody have the same problem and/or a solution?
    Is there any way of "resetting the update", i.e. to download the update again and try to install again?

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance. You can skip this step if you don't care about the data that hasn't been backed up.
    Reinstall the OS.* Your data should be unaffected unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.
